List of MAME clones worth playing - Redux

Recommended Posts

Starting a new thread to hopefully list all of the clones, bootlegs, hacks & prototypes that may be worth un-cloning (starting with MAME 175)

Much of this was done previously by scottjen26. I went through and updated it, re-formatted it, added a bunch of games, removed others that no longer apply, added the Manufacturers so it's easier to make changes for people with Manufacturer wheels, made a database and added additional 2 Player game info.

These 2 Neo-Geo games are already Parent roms, so no need to un-clone them. However they don't show in the normal Neo-Geo MVS database. They are both AES to MVS conversion and if you want them in a dedicated Neo-Geo wheel you'll need to add them manually.

As I change my mame xml as regularly as my menstrual cycle I wouldn't want to merge this. Perhaps I can add it as a genre?

I suppose. Although it seems like you could just merge them into your XML, or manually update them whenever you update MAME (didn't take me to long.

This morning I un-cloned all the new games I added to the list, then went through all the 3-4 player games and set them all to 2 Player mode. All done, now when I update MAME next I'll just need to copy/paste the CFG's for those games... the work is already done. Since I un-cloned all those games I also went through and made sure they all had their themes/vids/wheels renamed and working too.

I'm also removing World Beach Volley from the service menu list as I couldn't find a matching game (went through all the Volleyball games... didn't see it.)

oh boy! Could you pack this to include the themes, wheel, xml? Great job! Still away from keyboard but will be adding this next
